The Future of the Waves of Wisdom Newsletter
Hello everyone! Happy Sunday.
I’ve been feeling for the past several months that I want to significantly change the way in which I make content.
I’ve been desiring a more authentically spontaneous way of expression in both my videos and in my writing.
Previously, when it came to my videos, I would write the entire video in written form first and would post it here on the Waves of Wisdom blog before I would record it in video form.
This is the way I created the vast majority of my YouTube videos for the past 5 YEARS.
Yet, something about this way of content creation did not sit quite right with me.
It did not make me feel super excited, it stopped being as fun as it used to be, it left an inauthentic taste in my mouth, and it also wasted a lot of time, causing me to overwork myself to the point of anxious burnout.
I was operating from a sense of fear.
I felt that I had to perfectly construct all of my points with perfect wording in written form first before I felt comfortable speaking on a video (where I would have my notes on a teleprompter to guide me).
Deep down, I was scared to just be myself on camera and authentically transmit whatever message was in my consciousness that day.
Yet, creating content this way felt so much more right to me. It felt both exciting and extremely fun, and also was way more simple than writing everything out first, saving me lots of time, allowing more time for rest and relaxation.
Perhaps most importantly, this would allow for more energy devoted towards my coaching clients, which really is where my highest passion lies.
So, despite major success creating extremely long-form content for years with complex editing and stock footage, I am making a COMPLETE SHIFT.
For the foreseeable future, the majority of my content will be filmed outdoors, in nature, and will be a spontaneous transmission on a topic that is meaningful to me at that moment.
There will be minimal editing, no stock footage, no background music, none of that.
I also imagine the uploads will become more regular.
I am envisioning 3-5 uploads per week as opposed to the 1-2x per month schedule I was on before.
And so, going forward, this Waves of Wisdom Newsletter will be a short, friendly, value-packed message that comes to your inbox each Sunday that hopefully serves as a gentle nudge to aid you in your journey in some way.
Trusting Your Authenticity
Today’s message is all about TRUSTING in your authenticity.
Regarding this shift in how I create content, I had all sorts of limiting beliefs on why I could not make this new way of expression work.
I thought I was bad at speaking.
I kept telling myself the way I currently create content is what the audience expects from me so I should keep giving that to them.
I told myself the drop off in quality would destroy my business (I don’t see the quality as dropping at all when I look at it truthfully).
But, in being fully honest with myself, this was just how I authentically desired to create content.
I tested it out a few times earlier this year and the videos were met with praise, and it was also just way more FUN to record content this way.
And so, in making this shift, I am very trusting that what feels authentic to me will lead me to the outcomes that are meant for me.
This year, 2024, has been all about TRUST for me.
Trusting in what feels right, and following that authentic impulse.
I’ve been met with beautiful rewards in following this principle, in ways that I could never have previously envisioned.
I now see the entire path of growth, self-actualization, spirituality, enlightenment, whatever label you want to ascribe to this path, as really just being a path of becoming more and more YOURSELF.
As you become more and more Yourself, which ultimately is nothing separate from God/Source/The Universe/The One/Brahman, you naturally come to embody a higher degree of authenticity.
The ego will vehemently resist this more authentic way of expression because it will break the house of cards the ego has spent its entire existence constructing.
It is at this point when the ego is resisting that you are called to TRUST in your authenticity and be the way that feels right to you and do the things your soul yearns to do.
For me, the right thing for me is to now create content in this way, and I am trusting that despite all the resistance that it will work out.
I invite you to ask yourself what ways your ego may be withholding a deeper authenticity, and I gently nudge you to explore and experiment with ways to step into that higher calling.
That’s it for today, guys.
I recently uploaded a video by a river in this precise authentically spontaneous manner that I mentioned, and it goes more in-depth into the same topic of trust and authenticity that I spoke of in this letter.
